IBM 95P1988 DAT72 internal tape drive with 36/72GB capacity.

The IBM 95P1988 is a DAT72 internal tape drive providing native 36GB and compressed 72GB storage capacity. This half-height 5.25-inch form factor drive utilises Digital Audio Tape technology for reliable sequential data backup and archival operations.

DAT72 drives were widely deployed in server and workstation environments for automated backup routines, disaster recovery preparation, and long-term data retention. The internal mounting configuration integrates directly into compatible server chassis and tower systems.

The DAT72 format is a legacy tape standard that has been superseded by LTO and other modern backup technologies. This drive remains relevant for organisations maintaining existing DAT72 tape libraries or requiring read access to archived media in this format.
